Russia's ~Transcaspian railroad has
pushed across the sandy wastes northeast
of Merry, and trains are now running to
Chariui on the ONus. Engineers are
throwing u railroad bridge across that
classic stream. and track laying will soon
begin through Bokhara, on the way To
Samarcand and Tashkent. Two steam
boats have been launched on the OSus to
carry freight and passenger between the
railroad and Khiva.
When we remember that 4 few years
< Europeans ventured into those regions
only ut the peril of their lives. we under
stand how rapidly e are moving in

One evening Miss Fuller, with a young
friend, took a suburban train to attend a
small social gathering. She had dressed
with unusual care, the finishing touch
being a beautiful bunch of dollhouse flow
ers which she wore in her corsage.
When the conductor came into the car to
collect the fares Margaret Fuller suddenly
remembered that her pocketbook was in
the dress she had left at homel Her
companion was in the same plight, and
there was nothing to do but to explain
matters to the conductor. That official
was obdurate, however; the ladies' were
both strangers to him, and their excuse
lackneyed and transparent; he would be
obliged to leave them at the next way
station. Snatching the bouquet from be-
meath her cloak, Margaret rose to her
feet with %queen-like dignity and ex-
claimed: as there no one in this car
who will purchase these fiowers?' ~
gentleman instantly came forward and
paid the fares of the two ladies, but, it is
needless to say, refused to take the bou-
quet. The card which Margaret ex-
changed with him, however, he keeps TO
this day, and the incident was the be-
ginning of u pleasant acquaintance be-
tween them.-Boston Cor. Critics

Jake Esselb0rn Shot.

Early last evening two members Of the
18th infantry band were playing on the
piano in Esselborn's saloon on Seven
tcenth street, when a soldier, named Mil
Ter, a member of K company, nth infan-
try, entered the place in a somewhat in-
toxicated condition. Hearing the music,
he proposed to dance; but to this, the
proprietor, Jake Esselborn, objected, tel
ling Miller that dancing was against the
rules. The latter thereupon went up to
the bar and attempted to pick a quarrel
with the proprietor. The soldier attemp-
ted to strike Esselborn, and not being
able toreach his person across the counter,
finally pulled a revolver and fired two
shots, one of them striking Esselborn in
the arm breaking it below the elbow, and
the other hitting him in the
forehead, passing under the skin
over the top of the skull
and lodging in the wall in rear of the bar.
The W wounds, a broken arm and a
scalp wound, while not dangerous to life,
are yet very painful. and when last seen,
Mr.. Esselborn was resting quietly under
the influence of strong narcotics. Under
skillful treatment he will be out again in
a few days. Miller. the would-be muir
derer, was arrested by Officers Sullivan
and Smith and lodged in the county Jail.
The preliminary examination will be held
this morning.

4 MARVEL OF PURITY.
-,oyal u Perfect Baking Powder-Absolutely
Free from Lime.

The Royal Baking Powder is considered by all chemists
"a f"d analysts to be a marvel of purity, strength, and
- .eoiesomeness. Furthermore, it is now the only baking
ii"wder before the public free from lime and absolutely pure.
This is due largely to the improved method by the use
Of which it has been made possible to produce a perfectly
,.aic cream of tartar, from which all the lime has been
animated.
This chemically pure cream of tartar is exclusively
employed in the manufacture of the Royal Baking Powder,
- that its absolute freedom from lime and all other
I-,"aneous substances is guaranteed.
Professor McMurtrie, late chemist in chief to the u 8.
2rtment of Agriculture, after analysing many samples of
c-:l of tartar of the market, testified to the absolute
y of that used in the Royal Baking Powder as follows:
a have examined the cream of tartar manufactured by
t. New York Tartar Company and used by the Royal
Taking Powder Company in the manufacture of their bak,
IL powder, and find it to be perfectly pure, and free from
lime in any form.
"All chemical tests to which I have submitted it have
proved the Royal Baking Powder perfectly healthful, of
uniform, excellent quality, and free from any deleterious
substance. WIN. MoMURTRIE, EN-, Ph.D,

Excellent Shooting.

The pigeon shooting match between n
Cheyenne and Denver team came off last
Sunday at the Broadway park, in Denver.
The contestants were Bergersen and
Channel, of the Cheyenne Gun club, and
Compton and Kennicutt, of the Standard
Shooting club, of Denver. The challenge
was for any two Denver men to shoot
against any two Cheyenne men for $3.50 a
side. The shooting occupied two hours
and a half. Charles Compton and Victor
kennicutt, of Denver, made up the vic
torious team. kennicutt shot fifty birds,
but two fell outside the line and only
forty eight were counted. Compton shot
forty-eight birds. At the end of the
shooting the score was as follows
Kennicutt, Denver As
Compton, Denver, As
Peter Bergersen, Cheyenne A.
Clarence Channel, Cheyenne ............ Al
The shooting was single birds from a
trap thirty feet distant.
The Cheyenne club has challenged the
Denver team for another match to be
shot in this city for $500, with pigeons
from ground traps; these traps not being
used in Denver, last Sunday, gave the
Denverites undue advantage over our
men. Another challenge has been ar
ranged by prominent Denver and Chey-
enne citizens. The challenge Offered by
these gentlemen is to the effect hat they
will match Bergersen, of this city, and
Compton, of Denver, against any two
men in the United States, in any gun,
shooting or rifle club.
A large number of spectators attended
the Denver match, and the excellent
shooting by all the men attracted general
admiration. The Cheyenne club and
their friends who accompanied them to
Denver. will return home this evening.
